PGA tour/Stableford tourn

[bkmtnittany1]

For you golfing guys...anyone know why the tour got rid of that tournament that used to be held at Castle Pines in Colo.? I used to love watching that tournament and I know the players voted it as one of their favorite stops. Plus the uniqueness of the format made it cool to watch once a year.

Google “Who killed The International” and you’ll have your answer(s).

Hard to believe it was last played in 2006!

The Barracuda Championship, which is played opposite the Bridgestone, brought back the Stableford a few years ago.

The American Century Celebrity Tournament in Lake Tahoe uses the Stableford format. Not the pros, but it's a fun event in a great setting. Went a few years ago, good time!

The scoring system (which is fun and unique) was displaced by the refusal of the USGA and R&A to reign in the equipment and balls. When everyone in the field hits every par 5 in two, it loses its luster.
